A rogue state is a propaganda description of a state that United States doesn't like and would like to isolate or attack. It can also refer to a geographical area without an established state where hostile groups can organize or use as a base.

The designation "rogue state" is not applied to countries that ignore international law, engage in preventive wars, wars of choice, and implement crippling sanctions against other nations. The exemption of the use of the term to such states proves that it is used for propaganda purposes.
